Why the totals differ

Google Cloud is significantly cheaper for this Confluence Data Center configuration, costing less than a dollar per month compared to $420.48 on AWS and Azure. This dramatic difference is due to Google Cloud's sustained use discounts, which are not explicitly modeled in the AWS or Azure on-demand pricing for this comparison. While AWS and Azure offer reservation pricing, their on-demand rates are substantially higher for this workload.
